FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to piperidine derivatives useful in the treatment of a variety of disorders in which modulation of the CCR5 receptor ligand binding is beneficial. More particularly, the present invention relates to 1-oxa-3,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decan-2-one and 1-oxa-3,9-diaza-spiro[5.5]undecan-2-one compounds and related derivatives, to compositions containing said compounds and to uses of such derivatives. Disorders that may be treated or prevented by the present compounds include HIV and genetically related retroviral infections (and the resulting acquired immune deficiency syndrome, AIDS), diseases of the immune system and inflammatory diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Compounds of the present invention modulate the activity of the chemokine CCR5 receptors. The chemokines are a large family of pro-inflammatory peptides that exert their pharmacological effect through G-protein-coupled receptors. The name “chemokine”, is a contraction of “chemotactic cytokines”. The chemokines are a family of leukocyte chemotactic proteins capable of attracting leukocytes to various tissues, which is an essential response to inflammation and infection. Human chemokines include approximately 50 small proteins of 50-120 amino acids that are structurally homologous. (M. Baggiolini et al., Ann. Rev. Immunol. 1997 15:675-705)

Modulators of the CCR5 receptor may be useful in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases and conditions, and in the treatment of infection by HIV-1 and genetically related retroviruses. As leukocyte chemotactic factors, chemokines play an indispensable role in the attraction of leukocytes to various tissues of the body, a process which is essential for both inflammation and the body's response to infection. Because chemokines and their receptors are central to the pathophysiology of inflammatory and infectious diseases, agents which modulate CCR5 activity, preferably antagonizing interactions of chemokines and their receptors, are useful in the therapeutic treatment of such inflammatory and infectious diseases. The chemokine receptor CCR5 is of particular importance in the context of treating inflammatory and infectious diseases. CCR5 is a receptor for chemokines, especially for the macrophage inflammatory proteins (MIP) designated MIP-1a and MIP-1b, and for a protein which is regulated upon activation and is normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES).

HIV-1 infects cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage and helper T-cell lymphocytes by exploiting a high affinity interaction of the viral enveloped glycoprotein (Env) with the CD-4 antigen. The CD-4 antigen, however, appeared to be a necessary, but not sufficient requirement for cell entry and at least one other surface protein was required to infect the cells (E. A. Berger et al., Ann. Rev. Immunol. 1999 17:657-700). Two chemokine receptors, either the CCR5 or the CXCR4 receptor were subsequently found to be co-receptors along with CD4 which are required for infection of cells by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The central role of CCR5 in the pathogenesis of HIV was inferred by epidemiological identification of powerful disease modifying effects of the naturally occurring null allele CCR5 Δ32. The Δ32 mutation has a 32-basepair deletion in the CCR5 gene resulting in a truncated protein designated Δ32. Relative to the general population, Δ32/Δ32 homozygotes are significantly common in exposed/uninfected individuals suggesting the role of CCR5 in HIV cell entry (R. Liu et al., Cell 1996 86(3):367-377; M. Samson et al., Nature 1996 382(6593):722-725). The CD4 binding site on the gp120 of HIV appears to interact with the CD4 molecule on the cell surface, and undergoes conformational changes which allow it to bind to another cell-surface receptor, such as CCR5 and/or CXCR-4. This brings the viral envelope closer to the cell surface and allows interaction between gp41 on the viral envelope and a fusion domain on the cell surface, fusion with the cell membrane, and entry of the viral core into the cell. Accordingly, an agent which could block chemokine receptors in humans who possess normal chemokine receptors should prevent infection in healthy individuals and slow or halt viral progression in infected patients.

RANTES, a natural ligand for the CCR5 receptor, and an analog chemically modified on the N-terminus, aminooxypentane RANTES, were found to block HIV entry into the cells. (G. Simmons et al., Science 1997 276:276-279). Other compounds have been demonstrated to inhibit the replication of HIV, including soluble CD4 protein and synthetic derivatives (Smith, et al., Science 1987 238:1704-1707), dextran sulfate, the dyes Direct Yellow 50, Evans Blue, and certain azo dyes (U.S. Pat. No. 5,468,469). Some of these antiviral agents have been shown to act by blocking the binding of gp120, the coat protein of HIV, to its target, the CD4 glycoprotein of the cell.

A-M. Vandamme et al. (Antiviral Chemistry & Chemotherapy, 1998 9:187-203) disclose current HAART clinical treatments of HIV-1 infections in man including at least triple drug combinations. Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) has traditionally consisted of combination therapy with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) and protease inhibitors (PI). These compounds inhibit biochemical processes required for viral replication. In compliant drug-naive patients, HAART is effective in reducing mortality and progression of HIV-1 to AIDS. While HAART has dramatically altered the prognosis for HIV infected persons, there remain many drawbacks to the current therapy including highly complex dosing regimes and side effects which can be very severe (A. Carr and D. A. Cooper, Lancet 2000 356(9239):1423-1430). Moreover, these multidrug therapies do not eliminate HIV-1 and long-term treatment usually results in multidrug resistance, thus limiting their utility in long term therapy. Development of new drug therapies to provide better HIV-1 treatment remains a priority. Investigation of different classes of modulators of chemokine receptor activity, especially that of the CCR5 chemokine receptor, suggest inhibition of CCR5 as a new treatment modality.

Compounds of formula I exhibit tautomerism. Tautomeric compounds can exist as two or more interconvertable species. Prototropic tautomers result from the migration of a covalently bonded hydrogen atom between two atoms. Tautomers generally exist in equilibrium and attempts to isolate an individual tautomers usually produce a mixture whose chemical and physical properties are consistent with a mixture of compounds. The position of the equilibrium is dependent on chemical features within the molecule. For example, in many aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, such as acetaldehyde, the keto form predominates while; in phenols, the enol form predominates. Common prototropic tautomers include keto/enol (—C(═O)—CH—⇄—C(—OH)═CH—), amide/imidic acid (—C(═O)—NH—⇄—C(—OH)═N—) and amidine (—C(═NR)—NH—⇄—C(—NHR)═N—) tautomers. The latter two are particularly common in heteroaryl and heterocyclic rings and the present invention encompasses all tautomeric forms of the compounds.

It will be appreciated by the skilled artisan that the compounds of formulae Ia and Ib may contain one or more chiral centers and therefore exist in two or more stereoisomeric forms. The racemates of these isomers, the individual isomers and mixtures enriched in one enantiomer, as well as diastereomers when there are two chiral centers, and mixtures partially enriched with specific diastereomers are within the scope of the present invention. It will be further appreciated by the skilled artisan that substitution of the tropane ring can be in either endo- or exo-configuration, and the present invention covers both configurations. The present invention includes all the individual stereoisomers (e.g. enantiomers), racemic mixtures or partially resolved mixtures of the compounds of formulae Ia and Ib and, where appropriate, the individual tautomeric forms thereof.

The racemates can be used as such or can be resolved into their individual isomers. The resolution can afford stereochemically pure compounds or mixtures enriched in one or more isomers. Methods for separation of isomers are well known (cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) and include physical methods such as chromatography using a chiral adsorbent. Individual isomers can be prepared in chiral form from chiral precursors. Alternatively individual isomers can be separated chemically from a mixture by forming diasteromeric salts with a chiral acid, such as the individual enantiomers of 10-camphorsulfonic acid, camphoric acid, .alpha.-bromocamphoric acid, tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, malic acid, pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, and the like, fractionally crystallizing the salts, and then freeing one or both of the resolved bases, optionally repeating the process, so as obtain either or both substantially free of the other; i.e., in a form having an optical purity of >95%. Alternatively the racemates can be covalently linked to a chiral compound (auxiliary) to produce diastereomers which can be separated by chromatography or by fractional crystallization after which time the chiral auxiliary is chemically removed to afford the pure enantiomers.

The compounds of formulae Ia or Ib contain at least two basic centers and suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids which form non-toxic salts. Examples of salts of inorganic acids include the chloride, bromide, iodide, sulfate, bisulphate, nitrate, phosphate, hydrogen phosphate. Examples of salts of organic acids include acetate, fumarate, pamoate, aspartate, besylate, carbonate, bicarbonate, camsylate, D and L-lactate, D and L-tartrate, esylate, mesylate, malonate, orotate, gluceptate, methylsulphate, stearate, glucuronate, 2-napsylate, tosylate, hibenzate, nicotinate, isethionate, malate, maleate, citrate, gluconate, succinate, saccharate, benzoate and pamoate salts. For a review on suitable salts see Berge et al, J. Pharm. Sci., 66, 1-19, 1977.

Compound Preparation

The following preparations and examples are given to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand and to practice the present invention. They should not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention, but merely as being illustrative and representative thereof.

Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to numbers used (e.g., amounts, temperatures), but allowance for some experimental error and deviation, including differences in calibration, rounding of numbers, and the like, is contemplated.

Compounds of the present invention can be made by a variety of methods depicted in the illustrative synthetic reaction schemes shown and described below. The starting materials and reagents used in preparing these compounds generally are either available from commercial suppliers, such as Aldrich Chemical Co., or are prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art following procedures set forth in references such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis; Wiley & Sons: New York, Volumes 1-21; R. C. LaRock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, 2^(nd) edition Wiley-VCH, New York 1999; Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, B. Trost and I. Fleming (Eds.) vol. 1-9 Pergamon, Oxford, 1991; Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, A. R. Katritzky and C. W. Rees (Eds) Pergamon, Oxford 1984, vol. 1-9; Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry II, A. R. Katritzky and C. W. Rees (Eds) Pergamon, Oxford 1996, vol. 1-11; and Organic Reactions, Wiley & Sons: New York, 1991, Volumes 1-40. The following synthetic reaction schemes are merely illustrative of some methods by which the compounds of the present invention can be synthesized, and various modifications to these synthetic reaction schemes can be made and will be suggested to one skilled in the art having referred to the disclosure contained in this Application.

The starting materials and the intermediates of the synthetic reaction schemes can be isolated and purified if desired using conventional techniques, including but not limited to, filtration, distillation, crystallization, chromatography, and the like. Such materials can be characterized using conventional means, including physical constants and spectral data. Unless specified to the contrary, the reactions described herein preferably are conducted under an inert atmosphere at atmospheric pressure at a reaction temperature range of from about −78° C. to about 150° C., more preferably from about 0° C. to about 125° C., and most preferably and conveniently at about room (or ambient) temperature, e.g., about 20° C.

Some compounds in following schemes are depicted with generalized substituents; however, one skilled in the art will immediately appreciate that the nature of the R groups can varied to afford the various compounds contemplated in this invention. Moreover, the reaction conditions are exemplary and alternative conditions are well known. The reaction sequences in the following examples are not meant to limit the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.

The 1-oxa-3,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decan-2-one ring system can be assembled from an N-protected 4-oxo-piperidine derivative. The parent 4-piperidone is commercially available or, alternatively, it can be prepared by cyclization of 3-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-ethylamino)-propionic acid ethyl ester (L. Ruzicka et al., Helv. Chim, Acta 1920 3:812). While Scheme 1 is depicted with the benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group 1a (Z=CO₂CH₂Ph), which is readily introduced by standard protocols utilizing benzyloxycarbonyl chloride, one will appreciated that a variety of other well-known nitrogen protecting groups would also suffice (T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley & Sons, New York 1999). Construction of the oxazolidinone ring follows the general outline of the route reported by P. W. Smith et al. (J. Med. Chem. 1995 38:3772) and J. M. Caroon et al. (J. Med. Chem. 1982 24:1320).

The dianion of butyric acid was treated with 4-oxo-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester to afford the tertiary carbinol 11a. Carboxylic acid dianions (J. C. Stowell, Carbanions in Organic Synthesis, Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1979, pp. 127-216; N. Petragnani et al. Synthesis 1982 521) are prepared by treating the carboxylic acid with two equivalents of base. While the reaction is conveniently carried out with lithium diisopropylamide, a variety of other non-nucleophilic strong bases, e.g. lithium 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethylpiperidide or lithium hexamethyldisilazane can also be used. The base and carboxylic acid are typically combined at −78° C. and the initially formed carboxylate salt warmed to 0 to 20° C. to produce the dianion quantitatively. The reaction is run in polar inert solvents and THF, dioxane, dimethoxyethane are commonly used. By utilizing different carboxylic acids the substituent at the 4-position of the oxazolidone can easily be varied.

A variation of the Curtius reaction is employed to introduce the nitrogen atom and concomitantly generate a reactive acyl species which traps the hydroxyl; group and completes the spiro ring formation. The characteristic feature of the Curtius-type rearrangement of acyl azides is the loss of nitrogen and formation of a positively charged “nitronium ion” which undergoes 1,2-alkyl shift and produces an isocyanate which traps the alcohol. Diphenoxyphosphoryl azide (DPPA) has proven to be a convenient reagent to form the acyl azide in situ. Variations that can be used to convert a carboxylic acid derivative to the corresponding amine include the Hofmann, Schmidt or Lossen reactions (J. March Advanced Organic Chemistry 4^(th) Ed J Wiley & Sons: New York, 1991; pp 1090-1095; T. Shioiri Degradation Reactions in Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, vol. 6, E. Winterfeldt (Ed) Pergamon, Oxford 1991 p. 795-825).

Alkylation of an amide is accomplished by treating the amine or a metal salt of the amine (i.e. a deprotonated form) with a compound RZ¹ wherein Z¹ is a leaving group such as halo, C₁₋₄ alkanesulphonyloxy, benzenesulphonyloxy or p-toluenesulphonyloxy, optionally in the presence of a base and/or a phase transfer catalyst. The reaction may typically be carried out in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or N,N-diisopropylethylamine; DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene; or an inorganic base such as Na₂CO₃, NaHCO₃, K₂CO₃ or Cs₂CO₃, optionally in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, and in a solvent such as acetonitrile, DMF, DMSO, 1,4-dioxane, THF or toluene. A metal salt can be formed by treating the amide with a base such as sodium or potassium hydride, lithium diisopropyl amide, potassium tert-butoxide or sodium amylate in a non-protonated solvent such as THF, DMF or 1,4-dioxane which is then treated with a compound RZ¹. Introduction of a substituent onto the urethane nitrogen was accomplished by N-alkylation of the sodium salt of the amine which was generated by treating 12 with sodium hydride and subsequently treating the salt with an alkyl halide to afford 13.

Removal of the carbobenzyloxy protecting group is carried out catalytic hydrogenation. The deprotection conditions will, of course, vary with the nature of the N-protecting group. Acidic conditions also can be used to remove a benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group. The tert-butoxycarbonyl is a convenient alternative to the benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group which is removed in treatment with trifluoroacetic acid. One skilled in the art will recognize alternative protecting groups can used interchangeably which may alter the deprotection conditions.

The incorporation of the second piperidine ring is carried out by reductive amination of an N-acyl 4-piperidone. A reductive amination is preferably carried out by combining an amine and carbonyl compound in the presence of a complex metal hydride such as sodium borohydride, lithium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, zinc borohydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride or borane/pyridine conveniently at a pH of 1-7 optionally in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as molecular sieve or Ti(IV)(O-i-Pr)₄ to facilitate formation of the intermediate imine and at ambient temperature or with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, e.g. in the presence of palladium/charcoal, at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 5 bar, preferably at temperatures between 20° C. and the boiling temperature of the solvent used. It may also be advantageous during the reaction if reactive groups are protected during the reaction by conventional protecting groups which are cleaved again by conventional methods after the reaction. Reductive amination procedures have been reviewed: R. M. Hutchings and M. K. Hutchings Reduction of C═N to CHNH by Metal Hydrides in Comprehensive Organic Synthesis col. 8, I. Fleming (Ed) Pergamon, Oxford 1991 pp. 47-54.

To prepare compound libraries, the availability of an advanced intermediate which can be reacted with a variety of fragments is often advantageous. Thus an alternate scheme (Scheme 2) is comprised of carrying out the reductive alkylation of 14 with 10 (R=CBZ or Boc) Reductive amination and subsequent deprotection of the piperidine nitrogen affords 17. Acylation of the free amine with 2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid affords 16; however, it should be readily apparent that 17 can be acylated or alkylated with a variety of compounds to afford a chemical library with diverse functionality on the piperidine which may be used in lead identification and optimization programs.

Amides of 17 may be formed by conventional amide bond formation techniques such as by first activating a carboxylic acid either as an acid chloride or acid anhydride. The activated acid and the amine 17 may be reacted in the presence of an excess of a suitable base, e.g., Na₂CO₃, NaHCO₃, K₂CO₃, triethylamine or N,N-diisopropylethylamine, and in a suitable solvent, e.g. dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, THF or toluene, with or without water as a co-solvent Alternatively an ester and an amine, or a metal salt thereof, may reacted together in the presence of a base, e.g. triethylamine, and an optional catalyst in a solvent such as dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, THF or toluene. In yet another alternative the acid may be activated with 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) or 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAT) or 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HOBT), and reacted with the amine in the presence of a base, e.g. triethylamine, in a solvent such as THF, dichloromethane or toluene. One skilled in the art will appreciate there are many alternatives to the reagents identified above which activate a carboxylic acid in like manner. These reactions are typically run at a moderately reduced temperature between about −10 to +10° C. and are typically complete in several hours. The product is recovered by conventional means.

The secondary amine 17 can also be converted to sulfonamides (17a; R═SO₂Z¹ wherein Z¹ is alkyl or aryl) by treating 17 with aryl sulfonyl chlorides under Schotten-Bauman conditions. Ureas and thioureas (17a: R═CONR′R″ or CSNHR′R″) are also accessible from 17. Procedures for preparing ureas and thioureas have been described (J. Barluenga et al. Functions Containing a Thiocarbonyl Group Bearing Two Heteroatoms Other than Halogen or a Chalcogen, in Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations, vol. 6, Thomas L. Gilchrist (ed) Elsevier Science Ltd., Oxford UK). Alkyl or aryl isothiocyanates react with ammonia, primary and secondary amines to give 1-substituted, 1,3-disubstituted and trisubstituted thioureas respectively. This reaction generally takes place with good yields and polar solvents such as diethyl ether, ethanol, water and acetone are usually preferred. Alternatively an amine can be treated with phosgene or a phosgene equivalent (e.g. carbonyl diimidazole) and afford an aminocarbonyl chloride which is treated with ammonia, primary or secondary amines. Thioureas are prepared by analogous procedures utilizing isothiocyanates or thiophosgene an equivalent thereof.

Introduction of a methyl radical at the 4-position was accomplished by treating the intermediate amino nitrile 18 from the Ti(O-i-Pr)₄ catalyzed condensation of 14 and N—BOC-4-oxopiperidine with diethylaluminum cyanide and subsequently displacing the nitrile with methyl magnesium bromide to afford 19 (A. Palani et al. J. Med. Chem. 2001 44(21):3339-42).

4-Alkylidenyl (23: R′=alkyl), 4-aralkylidenyl (23: R′=aralkyl), 4-heteroarylalkylidenyl (23: R′=heteroarylalkyl) and 4-heterocycloalkylidenyl (23: R′=heterocyclylalkyl) compounds can be prepared by exploiting the susceptibility of acetylenes to nucleophilic attack by nitrogen nucleophiles to afford 4-alkylidene compounds 23 (M. Kimura et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1990 31(30):4887-4890; N. Shachat and J. J. Bagnell, Jr., J. Org. Chem. 1963 28:991; S. J. Miller and R. Tanaka, Nucleophilic Additions to Acetylenes in Selective Organic Transformations, vol. 1, B. S. Thyagarajan (ed.) Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., 1970, p. 143) as depicted in Scheme 4.

Propargyl carbinols 21 are prepared by addition of acetylide anions to N-benzyl-4-piperidone. Acetylide anions are prepared by treating a terminal acetylene with a strong base. Typical strong bases include alkyl lithiums, lithium dialkylamides, lithium hexamethyldisilazane, and sodium hydride. The reaction is run in a polar aprotic solvent such as THF, DME or dioxane at temperatures ranging from −70 to 0° C. The cyclization can be carried out by treating the resulting propargyl carbamate with sodium alkoxide in alcohol solvents to afford 23. Alternatively cyclization can be induced with copper(I) chloride and triethylamine in refluxing THF.

The resulting exocyclic olefins 23 (R═CH₂Ph) are relatively resistant to hydrogenation under mild conditions allowing selective removal of the benzyl protecting group to afford 23 (R═H) which can be converted to compounds of formula 26 by reductive amination as previously described in Schemes 1 and 2. High pressure hydrogenolysis (1000 psi) reduced the exo-olefin while also removing the benzyl protecting group to afford 24 which was converted to piperidines 25 as described previously.

Acylation and alkylation of nitrites is accomplished by deprotonating a nitrile with strong base to form the corresponding nitrile stabilized carbanions. Bases useful for forming a-α-cyano carbanions include lithium dialkyl amides, sodium hexamethyldisilazane, sodium or potassium hydride or potassium amide The reactions are carried out in polar aprotic solvents such as THF, DME and dioxane. The reaction is run from −20 to −78° C. Addition of the N-benzyl piperidin-4-one 10 (R=CH₂Ph) compound to the carbanion derived from pentane nitrile afforded hydroxy nitrile 27. (J. March, Adv. Organic Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1992, p. 468-474; S. Arseniyadis et al. Org Reactions 1984 31:1-364; H. O. House, Modern Synthetic Reactions, Benjamin Inc, Menlo Park, Calif. 1972, p. 546-550).

Hydroxy nitrites can be convert amino alcohols with metal hydride reducing agents. (see, R. C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, Verlag Chemie, New York, N.Y. 1989, p. 993) Metal hydrides suitable for reduction of nitrites include diborane-THF complex, lithium aluminum hydride and diisobutylaluminum hydride. Diborane reductions are carried out in aprotic ethereal solvents, especially THF. Lithium aluminum hydride reductions can be carried out in THF or diethyl ether. DIBAL reductions are carried out in toluene or THF. DIBAL is available as toluene solutions.

Intramolecular cyclization of the amino alcohol 30 with phosgene or a phosgene equivalent (e.g., carbonyl diimidazole) affords carbamate 29. The reaction is carried out in aprotic solvent in the presence of trialkylamine base at temperatures ranging form 0-100° C.

The remainder of the synthesis of 1-oxa-3,9-diaza-spiro[5.5]undecan-2-one compounds of the present invention, including N-alkylation, deprotection of the piperidinyl nitrogen and reductive amination with a suitably N-derivatized 4-oxopiperidine, is carried out utilizing processes analogous to those outlined in Schemes 1 and 2 for 1-oxa-3,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decan-2-ones.

Benzo-fused 1-oxa-3,9-diaza-spiro[5.5]undecan-2-one compounds are prepared by treating metallated α-aminoalkoxycarbonyl aryl compound 10 with a suitably N-protected 4-oxo-piperidine (Scheme 6). The aminoalkoxycarbonyl radical directs metallation of the aryl ring regiospecifically adjacent to the heteroatom (for analogous ortho metallation of aminoacyl aryl compounds see, H. Takai et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1985 33(3):1129-39; W. Fuhrer and H. W. Geschwend, J. Org. Chem. 1979 44:113-36) to afford an intermediate alkoxycarbonylamino alcohol compound which spontaneously cyclizes to afford 4,4-disubstitituted 1,4-dihydro-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-2-one 33. The remainder of the synthesis of benzo-fused 1-oxa-3,9-diaza-spiro[5.5]undecan-2-one compounds of the present invention, including N-alkylation, deprotection of the piperidinyl nitrogen and reductive alkylation with a suitable N-derivatized 4-oxopiperidine 10, is carried out utilizing processes analogous to those outlined in Schemes 1 and 2 for 1-oxa-3,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decan-2-ones.

4-Butyl-2-oxo-1-oxa-3,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (12) contains an asymmetric carbon and therefore is a mixture of two enantiomers. Separation of the diastereomers was accomplished by acylating 12 with (−)-camphanic acid and separating the resulting diastereomers 38a and 38b that exhibit different physical properties and may be separated by conventional means including silica gel chromatography, fractional crystallation and high pressure liquid chromatography (Scheme 7).

The individual diastereomers camphanic amides were hydrolyzed with lithium hydroxide to afford 39a and 39b which were carried on as described previously.

The chiral synthesis of I-421 (SCHEME 8) was achieved utilizing an asymmetric hydroxylation of 55 which was prepared by Wittig olefination of 10 (R=BOC) with pentylidene-triphenyl-λ⁵-phosphane. Asymmetric dihydroxylation is carried out with AD-mix-β which is well know in the art and consists of a premix containing of K₃Fe(CN)₆, K₂CO₃, K₂OsO₂(OH)₄ and hydroquinidine 1,4-diphthalazinediyl diether. Asymmetric hydroxylation is well known in the art and for references see, H. C. Kolb et al. Chem. Rev. 1994 94:2483-2547, K. B. Sharpless et al. J. Org. Chem. 1992 57:2768-2771. The resulting asymmetric diol 56 was selectively mesylated on the secondary alcohol and converted to epoxide 57. Epoxide-opening mediated by Et₃AlCN afforded the hydroxynitrile 58a which was reduced to amino alcohol 58b and cyclized with phosgene to yield 59a. Introduction of the cyclohexylmethyl substituents (step 6), removal of the Boc protecting group (step 7) and reductive amination with 15 (step 8) affording chiral I-421. While present evidence suggests the isomer obtained from this sequence is the (R) enantiomer, both enantiomers have been prepared and both are with the scope of the present patent.

Sustained release delivery systems are inserted subcutaneously into to the subdermal layer by surgery or injection. The subdermal implants encapsulate the compound in a lipid soluble membrane, e.g., silicone rubber, or a biodegradable polymer, e.g., polyactic acid.

Suitable formulations along with pharmaceutical carriers, diluents and expcipients are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of pharmacy 1995, edited by E. W. Martin, Mack Publishing Company, 19th edition, Easton, Pa. A skilled formulation scientist may modify the formulations within the teachings of the specification to provide numerous formulations for a particular route of administration without rendering the compositions of the present invention unstable or compromising their therapeutic activity.

The modification of the present compounds to render them more soluble in water or other vehicle, for example, may be easily accomplished by minor modifications (salt formulation, esterification, etc.), which are well within the ordinary skill in the art. It is also well within the ordinary skill of the art to modify the route of administration and dosage regimen of a particular compound in order to manage the pharmacokinetics of the present compounds for maximum beneficial effect in patients.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” as used herein means an amount required to reduce symptoms of the disease in an individual. The dose will be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. That dosage can vary within wide limits depending upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and general health condition of the patient, other medicaments with which the patient is being treated, the route and form of administration and the preferences and experience of the medical practitioner involved. For oral administration, a daily dosage of between about 0.01 and about 100 mg/kg body weight per day should be appropriate in monotherapy and/or in combination therapy. A preferred daily dosage is between about 0.1 and about 500 mg/kg body weight, more preferred 0.1 and about 100 mg/kg body weight and most preferred 1.0 and about 10 mg/kg body weight per day. Thus, for administration to a 70 kg person, the dosage range would be about 7 mg to 0.7 g per day. The daily dosage can be administered as a single dosage or in divided dosages, typically between 1 and 5 dosages per day. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect for the individual patient is reached. One of ordinary skill in treating diseases described herein will be able, without undue experimentation and in reliance on personal knowledge, experience and the disclosures of this application, to ascertain a therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of the present invention for a given disease and patient.

In embodiments of the invention, the active compound or a salt can be administered in combination with another antiviral agent, such as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, another nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or HIV protease inhibitor. When the active compound or its derivative or salt are administered in combination with another antiviral agent the activity may be increased over the parent compound.

Human CCR5 receptor (Genebank ID: 29169292) was cloned into mammalian expression vector, pTarget (Promega). The construct was transfected into CHO-G_(α16) cells by using Fugene Reagent (Roche). Clones were selected under antibiotic pressure (G418 and Hygromycin) and sorted 4 times with a fluorescence activates cell sorter and a monoclonal antibody specific for CCR5 receptor (BD Biosciences Pharmigen, Mab 2D7, Cat.

The plates were incubated on a cell shaker at RT for 2 h with a final concentration of 0.1 nM ¹²⁵I RANTES or ¹²⁵I MIP-1α or ¹²⁵I MIP-1β. The compound dilutions were made in PBS, 1% BSA. Total reaction volume was 100 μl per well. The test compounds were added to the cells prior to the addition of radioligand.

After incubation, the cells were harvested onto GF/C filter plates using Packard cell harvester. Filters were pretreated with 0.3% PEI/0.2% BSA for 30 min. The filter plate was washed rapidly 5 times with 25 mM HEPES, 500 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl₂ and 5 mM MgCl₂ adjusted to pH 7.1. Plates were dried in oven (70° C.) for 20 min, added with 40 μl scintillation fluid and sealed with Packard TopSeal-A. Packard Top Count was used to measure of the radioactivity for 1 min per well.

Total binding was determined with control wells added with radioisotope and buffer and the non-specific binding was determined using an excess cold RANTES to some of the control wells. Specific binding was determined by subtracting the non-specific form total binding. Results are expressed as the percentage of specific ¹²⁵I RANTES binding. IC₅₀ values were determined using varying concentrations of the test ligand in triplicates and the data was analyzed using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, Calif.).
